Study Notes

Liver and Gallbladder

  • The liver produces bile, detoxifies blood, and stores excess nutrients absorbed by the GI tract.
  • The liver is divided into four incompletely separated lobes: right lobe, left lobe, caudate lobe, and quadrate lobe.
  • The falciform ligament separates the right and left lobes of the liver.
  • The porta hepatis is where arteries, veins, and lymph vessels enter and leave the liver.

Bile Production and Storage

  • Bile is made by hepatocytes in the liver and is stored and secreted by the gallbladder into the small intestine.
  • The liver produces approximately 1 liter of bile per day.
  • Bile helps with the emulsification of lipids in the small intestine.

Pancreas

  • The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate that are released in the duodenum.
  • The pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine functions.

Digestive System

  • The small intestine is where most of nutrient absorption takes place.
  • Diverticula are out-pockets of the intestinal wall and are most common in the sigmoid colon.
  • Diverticulosis is the formation of diverticula, while diverticulitis is the inflammation of diverticula.
  • Symptoms of diverticulitis include abdominal pain, nausea, and fever.
  • Treatment options for diverticulitis include antibiotics and surgery.

Diseases and Conditions

  • Ulcers are most commonly found in the stomach and are often caused by an infection of Helicobacter pylori.

  • Fibrosis is a reversible stage of liver damage, while cirrhosis is the irreversible late stage fibrosis of the liver.

Other

  • The most common location for colorectal cancer is in the rectum.
